So many fantastic British nominees. Wish we had talent like that in Ireland. Oh wait...
Only last week there was war after a Sky News reporter mistakenly claimed Saoirse Ronan as British when listing the Brits nominated for The Golden Globes.
The Irish have played a blinder this year in TV & film, and this is reflected in today's
list of Oscar nominees, with Saoirse Ronan, Michael Fassbender, Lenny Abrahamson and Emma Donoghue all getting a nod.
However, yet again, the Brits aren't letting us have it.
Earlier today,
The Metro included Saoirse Ronan and Michael Fassbender in a list of Brits nominated, although they have since been deleted.
Then, obviously forgetting about last week's furore,
Sky News went ahead and listed Michael Fassbender as a British nominee.
The BFI were also apparently confused.

The BBC were also somewhat perplexed.
